Today was another fun day for us! We left Bluff, Utah and travelled to Kanab, Utah, by way of Arizona. We went to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon--same thing--from Kanab, Utah, to the North Rim in Arizona. Of course, we did the reverse from the Grand Canyon to Kanab where we parked the RV. Confused yet?
Anyway, the trip over yet another range of mountains was beautiful, relatively easy travel, and so different in looks (top Picture) from the mountains we've already seen.
Around l p.m. we set up the RV, I had a (2 hour) nap while Wayne met (only) half the people in the park (Kanab RV Corral). Then we decided to do the 80-mile trip (one way) to the North Rim today. It was beautiful. (Have I said that before?)
After we got to the Grand Canyon North Rim National Park entrance, we still had about 15 miles of up/down mountains, hairpin-curvey roads to drive. We saw enough snow to have lots of snowball fights, and enough deer to feed all of Henry County and Slapout, too. We counted over 50 deer on our way into the Park, and stopped counting at 25 on our trip back. In the middle picture above are some of the deer and a little of the snow in the background--over 9,000 feet up! Was warm in the sunshine but VERY cool in the shade.
Getting to the actual North Rim of the Grand Canyon was so worth it. The North Rim is vastly different from the southern end of the Canyon that we saw on our trip several years ago. The bottom picture of the Grand Canyon can't do it justice, but I wanted you to get an idea of it anyway. We took this picture from the GC Lodge sitting in comfortable chairs on the back varanda.
After so much excitement--what could possibly top this? Wayne said, "just wait until tomorrow!" Guess I'll (and you, too) will have to.
So until then--love you; keep us in your prayers, please. You are in ours!
